    Is 35% too dark for the sides? I want the windows as dark as possible without having a loss of vision that would hamper driving.

    35 is like the factory tempered glass, barely a tint per say, IMO 35 is not worth getting.

        Hmmm, I kinda want some tint for my car. I'm not sure what the legal limit is in Ohio, I'll have to check. But I think dark windows would go nice with Navy Blue.

          very illegal in NC

          Easiest way to check your local laws on tint is to call your state highway patrol office. A lot of people tend to think that any amount of tint is fine on the rear window(s), but in most states that is only the case with larger vehicles like SUVs and vans.

            I have no problems at all, but it's not a very dark tint. Here is a link to some pictures. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4290956257

              I have 13% all around and a strip across the front windshield. It looks really sweet and it's easy to see out at night. I actually parked next to a cop at Wal-Mart and when I came out he told me my car looked really nice and that the tint looked good on my black car. Plus 13% matches the t-tops almost perfectly. That's what I suggest getting. Pics in my sig

                Sweet, thanks everyone for your input. I think that I am aiming at 15-20% all around from what I have heard. I'll let you know how it goes, and I will show pictures when I get it done.Thanks all!

                    35 on the sides and I think 15 or so on the rear. Supposedly the rear is unrestricted in Texas and the sides are pretty dark before they're illegal. It's pretty mild on the sides, IMO I don't think really dark looks good on a white car unless it's almost black.
